Probate and Trust Administration

The traditional probate term refers to the legal process of administering a decedent’s estate, pursuant to the terms and provisions of his or her Last Will and Testament. It is actually a part of the larger estate administration practice of the firm which deals with all legal and tax considerations arising from a death.

Trust administration addresses the variety of legal and tax consequences and considerations which arise following a person’s death, at which time our staff is equipped to guide the decedent’s family and legal representatives. Likewise, as trusts have become widely used due to the flexibility they offer in personal planning, we advise our clients, both as beneficiaries and as fiduciaries, in all aspects of the creation and administration of trusts.
